Further confirmation comes from the multiplication of activities dedicated to building the group and which have borrowed the peculiarities of the most disparate sectors: from war tactics (from which Paintball and Softair were born), to the sporting world (such as , for example, climbing and archery activities), up to going beyond the confines of the kitchen with Cooking Team Building .
Although recent, this last typology has achieved enormous success and the reason is very simple: cuisine and business are profoundly similar, so much so that the first is considered a metaphor for the other.
Unite your corporate team in the kitchen with the Pizza Challenge
Cooking Team Building format that is becoming popular among overseas companies.
Among the most popular and consumed foods in the world (in Italy alone, 5 million are eaten per day), pizza offers the perfect starting point for your team to have a fun and delicious culinary experience at the same time, as well as to test their communication and leadership skills.
Pizza Challenge: how it works
The Pizza Challenge is structured in 2 phases: in the first your team will be divided into 2 or more teams; a master pizza chef will show them how to prepare perfect pizza dough so that your group can then make it again. In this way even those who have no experience will be able to start from the same level as others.
In the second phase, however, we will get to the heart of the competition: in turn, each team will have the entire kitchen available to prepare and lay out as many bases as possible, which will then be seasoned both with classic ingredients and in a creative way. The pizzas will then be baked and cooked just like real pizza chefs do.
Once ready, the master pizza chef will proceed with the tasting and, at the end, will decide the winning team.
What you don't do for pizza
We would have loved to reveal some secrets to preparing a perfect pizza but, in this way, your team would have an advantage in the Challenge .
We therefore decided to conclude this article by revealing 3 curiosities to see how far the love for pizza can go:
- In 2001 the American restaurant chain - Pizza Hut -, at the request of the astronauts, managed to deliver a pizza to the International Space Station. The cost of the expedition amounted to 1 million dollars.
- When, in 1994, the Internet took its first steps and eCommerce, as we know it today, was still in its embryonic stage, pizza was one of the first things sold online.
- The Pizza Theorem is the mathematical principle that studies the equality of 2 parts of a disk when divided in a certain way. It states that the sum of the areas of the odd sectors is equal to the sum of the areas of the even sectors. It is so called because a pizza cut this way is assumed to have equal parts for everyone.
What would you and your team be willing to do for pizza, but above all for the well-being of your company?
